Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 What is the proper way to refrigerate cooked rice? Do you a) let it come to room temp before storing or b) immediately put in the fridge? I seem to recall one of these being unsafe due to microbial growth. Also, how long does refrigerated rice keep? (I'm speaking of brown rice, if it makes a difference.) Thanks, -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I normally let it cool off for 15 or 20 min, then stick it in the fridge and I usually make enough for the week.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Erin, Seems to me that you should let everything you put in the refrigerator cool off first. Otherwise you will raise the temperature of the refrigerator and everything else in it, and that is what could cause other things to get microbial growth.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 When I reheat it in the microwave, I'll either sprinkle some water on it or moisten a small piece of paper towel and put it on top of the rice so that the rice steams a bit as it's reheating, which tends to make it less dry.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 In my food safety course I took a year ago said that everything should be kept at a safe cooking temp. After food is served it should be placed in the refrigerator before it drops below that temp. Also it should be stored in a container that allows the most surface area. To allow rapid cooling. In the restaurant we would bag the food and put it in an ice bath then place that in the fridge but that is a bit extreme for home;-) Hope that helps Liudwih ---- brbrunner 3/6/2007 12:00:50 PM Re: refrigerating cooked rice Erin, Seems to me that you should let everything you put in the refrigerator cool off first.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I always put my leftovers in the fridge as soon as possible. (bit of a germaphobe in that respect) And I've frozen cooked rice many times without problems as well. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yes, one of my favorite breakfasts growing up with leftover rice cooked with sugar, cinnamon and raisins. YUM. Oh, my mother also make milk toast. That was similar to the rice but made with bread and no raisins and cooked in a skillet rather than a pan. I've never been able to replicate either recipe quite the way my mom made them and she passed on years ago.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 My mom used to make milk toast,too, and I have never wanted to replicate that recipe. It was pretty dreadful. I think she forgot part of the recipe, She just threw a piece of bread in a bowl and poured milk over it. It makes me shudder to remember it.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have heard of this - is British I believe - milk-toast. My mother, and grandmother before her, adds an egg and vanilla to the recipe then either fry it in a skillet, or bake it in the oven in a jelly roll pan. Sugar is added if the bread is baked, then eaten without syrup. If fried in the skillet, it is eaten with syrup (French toast). HA! Maybe the egg is the difference between British and French versions! We also ate rice with milk and sugar.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 My mother also made French toast and milk toast is very different. Milk toast is soft and squishy and... milky. You eat milk toast with a spoon. French toast is coated in egg batter and fried and you eat it with a fork. It's more " dry " while milk toast is like eating a bowl of sugary, milky, squishy bread. It's quite yummy, the way my mom made it, anyway. :-) Sharon Pat Carson wrote: > I have heard of this - is British I believe - milk-toast.
